In 2013, Arkadi Zaides requested access to the video archives of B'Tselem, the Israeli Information Center for Human Rights in The Occupied Territories. Among other things, the archives contain thousands of hours of footage documented by Palestinian volunteers. Zaides chose to focus on the Israelis captured on screen, on their bodies and the way they respond to various situations in the West Bank. Capture Practice is the result of his confrontation with these materials. Zaides wishes to examine the somatic influence of the occupation on the bodies of those administering it, while raising questions about his own involvement in the act.

+ Kamal Aljafari - ‘Recollection’ (2015, 70’)

'Recollection' is a film composed entirely of footage from Israeli and American fiction features shot in Jaffa from the 1960s to the 1990s. Jaffa provided the perfect setting to construct new Israeli narratives on top of emptied Palestinian ruins. As Aljafari explains, Palestinians were effectively “uprooted in reality and in fiction”. In 'Recollection', Aljafari removes the Israeli actors to give the stage to the people who appear by chance in the background of these shots, including both Palestinians and Iraqi Jews who were settled in the city, enacting what he describes as “cinematic justice.”
